BOLL WEEVEL PROBLEM SOLVED BY THE BIRDS James Henry Hlce Makes u Plea for the Feathered Tribe which, lie Says, ?in Fr?re the Sooth's Saltation. Barnwell,?The Salkehatchle Agri cultural club had as its guest and prlclpal speaker recently James Hen ry Rice. Jr., formerly superintendent of the Harnwell schools, and now chief game warden of South Carolina. The meeting was held at the club bouse, a mile from town, and Mr. Rice spoke on the "Menace of the Boll Weevil." His remarks were re ceived with favor and be was voted the thanks of the club on motion of George H. Hates, senator from Uarn well. The club agreed to memorialize the neral assembly to pass the hunters' license for raising revenue for the protection of insect-eating birds. Showed the Peril. Mr. Rice showed the great peril hanging over South Carolina from the rapid advance of the boll weevil, that has within three years past made an advance equal to the previous nine years and that an equal rate would reach South Carolina within the next three years. The government estimate is live years, but this- includes liberal allowance for setbacks. A most interesting feature of the address was the outlining of the course of the boll weevil, which, ac cording to Mr. Rice, would probably enter South Carolina within the bounds of Uarnwell county. The speaker showed why the insect-eating bird was the only final check to the boll weevil and what retarded the work of birds in Texas. Safet) of State at Stake. " The safety of the State is at stoke, peril overhangs the people." he said, "better have a few disgruntled hunt ers than thousands of ruined farm ers." It was shown that every State invaded by the weevil had put on stringent regulations against shoot ing birds, but this would not be neces sary in South Carolina if proper steps were taken now for the enforcement of the laws. The general assembly has not mad? provision for the en forcement of the laws: it Is now the business of the people to insist on that protection which every man has a right to expect from the State to which he owes allegiance. Mr. Rice gave a history of the boll weevil from the beginning and added a list of birds that eat the weevil, pointing out what measures were best calculated to meet this grave crisis. Many Questions Asked. President Peacock presided and many questions were put to the speaker by various farmers present who were interested in every phase of the question. **????*????*?*? Letter to Southern People. ? The people of California, at the sug gestion of one of the Western rail roads, have begun the sending of four million invitations to persons east of the Mississippi river to go as settlers to California. All the Western rail roads are urgng the people of the West to do likewise for their different States. A large part, if not a majori ty, of those invitations will come to the South and we have not any people to spare. In fact our greatest need is for more people. Why. then, shall we not undertake to gather the names of and invite back to the South, "back homo,0 our Own people? Millions of them are in the West and Northwest. Is not the South good enough for them? Have we not sufficient con fidence in its opertunltles to invite, nay to urge. Southern people to come "back home" and share them? Fi nally, is not the "back home" move ment a real, tangible work for us as Individuals-something definite for us to do? Tell every one you know to write to every one he knows in the West or elsewhere to come "back home" and bring others. Call on the railroads to send them literature of reasons and facts as to why our peo ple Bhould come "back home." Let us show the Western railroads that we can send five invitations to their one. Let us show that the South can offer, and "make good" on, as many opportunities as the West-Indeed bet ter ones. Let us ' come alive!" W I). Roberts. Johnson City, Tenn.. March 9, 1911.
